NGC 2467 is a bright nebula located in the constellation Puppis, which is part of the larger Carina-Sco region of the Milky Way. It is often referred to as the "Sailor's Nebula" due to its shape resembling that of a ship's sail. NGC 2467 is an emission nebula, which means it emits light due to the ionization of gas and dust by the ultraviolet radiation from nearby hot stars.
